FAQ  
Q1: I have noticed that the pictures I have taken are all very dark. How can I make  
these pictures lighter? Should I use the flash often?  
A1: Avoid taking pictures in places with little lighting. When it is cloudy, please use other means  
to create more light before taking pictures. We recommend using the flash function during  
nighttime. During the day, the flash may be too strong and the picture may come out too  
bright, thus use it only during the night.  
Q2: After I am done taking a picture, it takes a while for the picture to come up on the  
TFT screen. Is there something wrong with my DV?  
A2: No, with the DV, if you select a larger picture size, it will take longer for it to come up on the  
TFT screen. So if you want to speed things up, please select a smaller picture size. (M  
picture size is recommend)
